World Cup Dreams - Employer Nightmare

The World Cup is looming. So what are the implications for employers?

Major events like the World cup and the Olympics pose some major issues for UK businesses. Keeping your employees happy, absence rates low and your productivity up can cause you major headaches.

• flexible hours
• shift swapping
• unpaid leave
• special screenings
• internet use
• alcohol misuse
• absence management
